UK-EU trade mark rights – Draft withdrawal agreement up-date

The latest draft EU-UK withdrawal agreement includes trademark rights. It says EUTM owners, with trade marks registered before the end of transition, should obtain rights to own the same UK trade mark (on certain terms, but without re-examination). The draft agreement was approved by the EU 27 on 24-Nov-2018. It is not yet final and has yet to be ratified by the UK.
